Shouldn't this thread be titled, "The CAAC?"

Can we suggest answers?

Well, Since I initially dubbed this a contest, then no, maybe once we have a winner we will go that route

Too easy

Fido: I think you have an unfair advantage being a computer programmer. None of these terms are really that diffucult to someone that works on computers alot, but for the public some of these terms are fairly difficult. Im sure I could come up with some hard ones for you :P

Fido: sorry, I didnt mean for my post to sound that way :D

Anyways, just 1 hour left to submit anwsers if you like.

Yahoo is an acronym?

I thought it was half an acronym.

Nope, it is a full acronym.

That was my reaction when I first heade it. But the acronym does make sense.

I just looked it up. It's a pretty stupid acronym.

I got a few of your fido, but I must admit, those are some toughies.

Not when you consider the two guys who founded Yahoo.

I always knew I was a geek...but it wasn't until this very moment did I realize how much of a geek I really am. I need to get out more.
